Burger King Whopper Menu

A standard Whopper is 670–710 cal. Across the whole Whopper range the figures run from 340 for the Whopper Jr. to 1390 for the Triple Whopper with Bacon, a 4.1 times difference inside one family. Calorie figures are the published values for a standard build; adding cheese, bacon or sauces raises them.

Our two price sources put a standalone Whopper at $6.19–$8.04. Burger King restaurants are overwhelmingly franchisee owned and set their own prices, so that spread is real rather than an error. We publish the low and high bounds instead of averaging them into one figure that would be wrong everywhere.

Size. The Whopper Jr. is 340 cal against 670–710 cal for the standard Whopper, on a smaller patty and bun. It runs $2.99–$4.69 against $6.19–$8.04. The Jr. is the lightest item in the entire Whopper range.

The Triple Whopper with Bacon at 1390 cal. That is roughly 4.1 times the Whopper Jr., and the difference comes almost entirely from patty count, cheese and bacon rather than from the bun or the salad.

Of the 9 Whopper builds we hold full nutrition data for, the highest sodium is Whopper with Bacon & Cheese at 1560 mg. Sodium tracks cheese and bacon more closely than it tracks calories, which is why a build can be lighter than another and still saltier.

By calories, yes. A Whopper is 710 against 580 for a Big Mac, using the same two nutrition databases for both. That is one comparison on one measure, not a verdict on which is better.

We hold a sourced price for 18 of the 18 builds. The other 0 appear on our sources without a price we can cross-check, so we leave them blank rather than estimate. A wrong price on a price site is worse than no price.

A quarter-pound flame-grilled beef patty, sesame seed bun, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise, pickles and sliced white onion. That build has been stable for decades, which is unusual in fast food and is part of why the sandwich is used as a reference point in almost every burger comparison. Anything beyond that list - cheese, bacon, extra patties - is a variant with its own price and its own calorie figure, and each one is listed separately above.

Yes, and it is a genuine process difference rather than a marketing line. Burger King cooks patties on a moving chain over an open flame, which is where the char marks and the smoke note come from. Most rivals griddle on a flat top. It is the single clearest technical difference between Burger King and <a href="/burger-king-vs-mcdonalds">McDonald's</a>, and it survives into the taste in a way that most claimed differences do not.

Removing ingredients is free, and so is asking for extra of most of the salad items. What costs money is adding cheese, bacon or another patty, each of which changes both the price and the calorie count. That is why the variants above are listed as separate items rather than as options: a Whopper with cheese is a different product with a different figure in both columns.

The standard Whopper is not - the multi-patty builds above it are heavier in both weight and calories, and the heaviest item we track anywhere on the menu is the Triple Whopper with Bacon at 1390 cal. The Whopper is the flagship rather than the largest. Full rankings across every category are on the <a href="/burger-king-calories">calories page</a>.
